[Note: A prominent hurricane scientist (MIT's Kerry Emanuel) has publicly reversed his view on global warming's impact on hurricanes. This is a very important new development in the climate debate. First, 2007 turned out to be the "tipping point" for global warming fears, 2008 continued appears to be the year of vindication for skeptics as many prominent scientists reversed their climate views and more and more skeptical scientists speak out and new data debunked man-made climate fears. Now another major scientist reconsiders his views on a significant aspect of man-made climate fears. MIT's Kerry Emanuel's views on hurricanes and global warming have been prominently cited by Gore and other promoters of climate fear. With the new evidence based data flowing in, it is no wonder Gore is being forced to spend $300 million to attempt to once again scare the public. An Oscar, a Nobel and a compliant media all proved woeful at convincing the public to believe in Gore's "climate crisis." ]
